Two musical items for which you should take note; both of which are featured in post's mixture.
Firstly: Echo Gardens-
These are some foreigners that have soft melodies that are easily digested by the ears. Nothing complicated. Just nice easy listening. Ironic enough the couple songs I put in this mix are basically their most poppy songs. But hey, they're fun and harmless and they still maintain some of that dreamy texture that characterizes the rest of their music. In short, I'd say they are Zero7 meets Múm meets OK Computer.
Secondly: Clams Casino-
This guy is just your friendly neighborhood beat maker. Originally I rode him off because his choice of rappers was so poor. (I'm sorry but ASAP Rocky? Who likes that crap?) But I later heard the music he makes without the MC's, and me likes. Me gusta muy mucho. I love the lo-fi samples he chooses, the wordless vocals he utilizes, and the overall nostalgic feel of his songs. They are really simple, but so deep at the same time. Perfect for cloudy days. And partly cloudy days. And partly sunny days. And sunny side up eggs. This particular track I have listened too about 100 times (seriously, I have a high tolerance for tracks I like) and have concluded that should I have any say, I'd like to be listening to this song when I die.
Now for specifics, here's the track listing:
Echo Gardens - Step 0:01
Clams Casino - I'm God (instrumental)1:50
An Alien - Monologue 6:17
Echo Gardens - Intro 6:47 /Purple 8:51
Steve Hauschildt - Batteries May Drain 12:17
Radiohead - Staircase 14:20
Professor Penguin - Pilot (Wrigglesworth PSB Edit) 18:10
Stumbleine - Ember (Sorrow Remix) 22:52

A special request:
When typing up your mixography (list of songs), can you include the nascent times of each track as well? This way, one doesn't need to pay meticulous attention to count every track as it's playing. Also, the mixing is done with such prestidigitation, that it's difficult to ascertain the beginning and ending of each track.
...and-uh-thank-you...
Addendumed!
